Venus Worship

How Venus Got its Name:
“Venus is named for the ancient Roman goddess of love and beauty. (Venus is the Roman counterpart to the Greek goddess Aphrodite.) It is believed Venus was named for the most beautiful of the ancient gods because it shone the brightest of the five planets known to ancient astronomers. Other civilizations have named it for their god or goddess of love/war as well.”http://solarsystem.nasa.gov

An ironic coincidence that pagans worshiped a dead earth? The so-called elites named it after the ancient Roman goddess of love and beauty, is this a reflection of their delusion or ignorance?
